LONDON: British Prime Minister Theresa May fired her defence secretary, Gavin Williamson, on Wednesday, saying an investigation suggested he was to blame for leaking discussions about Chinese telecoms company Huawei from her National Security Council.
May wrote to Williamson that an investigation into the leaks had provided"compelling evidence suggesting your responsibility for the unauthorised disclosure."Williamson had repeatedly denied that he was responsible for the leak. A BBC correspondent said she spoke to him after his firing was made public and he continued to deny blame.
